Description/intended use

The 5867-3M Lead end cap kit consists of three types
of lead end caps—one intended to seal off leads with
Medtronic unipolar connectors 5 mm (0.2 in) or
bipolar connectors 5 mm (0.2 in) bifurcated, one
intended to seal off leads with unipolar connectors
(IS-11 UNI) or bipolar connectors (IS-1 BI), and one
intended to seal off leads with Medtronic bipolar
connectors (3.2 mm low profile) or severed lead
bodies with an outer diameter of 1.5 to 2.8 mm (4.6 to

8.4 Fr).

All three types of lead end caps are made of silicone
rubber.

The Model 5867-3M is intended for single use only.

Warnings and precautions

Note: Medical procedure warnings and precautions

that pertain to the Medtronic implanted system are
provided in the manual that is packaged with the
device or on the Medtronic Manual Library website
(www.Medtronic.com/manuals).

Review the lead documentation – Since the lead
end cap is a functional extension of the lead, it is
recommended that the lead documentation be
reviewed for all appropriate warnings, complications,
precautions, and instructions.

Line-powered and battery-powered equipment –

An implanted lead forms a direct current path to the
myocardium. During lead implant and testing, use
only battery-powered equipment or line-powered
equipment specifically designed for this purpose to
protect against fibrillation that may be caused by
alternating currents. Line-powered equipment used
in the vicinity of the patient must be properly
grounded. Lead connector pins must be insulated
from any leakage currents that may arise from
line-powered equipment.

External defibrillation equipment – Keep external
defibrillation equipment nearby for immediate use
during the implant procedure and whenever
arrhythmias are possible or intentionally induced.

Handling the lead end caps – Lead insulators
attract small particles such as lint and dust; therefore,
protect the lead end cap(s) from materials shedding
these substances.

Sterilization – Medtronic has sterilized the package
contents with ethylene oxide before shipment. This
device is for single use only and is not intended to be
resterilized.
